JESUS & LONG HAIR
Did Jesus really have long hair? We obviously have no pictures to substantiate that idea that most portray Him as having. But scripture says no to that false picture.
1 Cor. 11:14 “Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”
My Redeemer is not shameful. And as far as that goes the 2nd commandment discourages any false portraits of Him.
The shameful portraits that commonly we see are fictional and typical of those who have no idea what scripture has recorded.
The common depiction of Jesus with long flowing hair must, therefore, be incorrect. In fact, Josephus and other writers of that day indicate that most men, both Jewish and Roman, were usually beardless and short-haired.
